i got a 1.2 tent now but its wateing the space i have if u know what i mean so i wanna make a room in the shed that more use able was thinking 8 plants but have a harvest every 4-5 weeks with 4 plants

 

[Roobarb]

Should I top these skunk plants?? they've grown a foot in the last 10 days or so and I cant have them exceed much over 6 foot in height as polytunnel is only 2m tall. Sensi state them as a medium sized plant but that doesn't help much.

Now this only my opinion but I would keep topping them until they flowering. As you are outside and you will not be covering the poly tunnel to induce flowers earlier you're gonna be vegging for a while yet. Don't know where in France you are but it's gonna be a while before you get 12/12 so top the shit out of it. You will only make more bud sites anyway coz it's gonna be a monster

K cheers for the info. I'm southwest France.. Still getting 15+ hours sun here. Poly tunnel gets 12 hours direct sunlight.

Anyone got aa tiny tent they want rid of? something like 50x50 or 60x60 etc?

 

[TheHulk11]

I did have but I sent it to someone else on here a cpl months back, I've only got my 80x80x160 tent that fits 4 plants in 10l pots.
I'm just using panda plastic in my mates attic now for a grow area. will prob set the tent up again in mine in a month or so when I'm sure that's everything blown over properly.

U can get a cheap 50x50 tent on eBay for 40 quid including delivery mate

[Pompeygrow]

this was what i was thinking with 2 x 600w lights just gotta do some think for the cuttings in that little room at the bottom

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Mg's mango haze

 

[Mastergrow]

The big bud in the pic weighed 7.2, nice dense big buds. It's good enough smoke, not the strongest I've had but tastes nice enough. Don't ask if it tastes like mango lol, not even sure what mango tastes like but I don't think it does lol

 

[Merlot]

Christ I could do with a smoke. Harvest time to needs to hurry the fuck up! last smoke for me was March 2014...

 

[Mastergrow]

It's spot on for the money an uk2uk, double vac pack, can't fault it really

At that rate you'll be vegging until prob end of September? it's gonna be a fucking tree by then. And remember most strains will increase in size by 60% some nearly double.
Maybe you should consider Autos. Don't like them myself but my bro has great results in his poly with "think differently " and that's in UK.
Did I read few pages back you was havin a few bug probs? Caterpillars and stuff?

Got 9 of the cunts on the go would of been 10 but I dropped a seed, and the faeries had it away. They're all pre flowering now with alternating branching. Maybe half dozen pistils per plant so nothing major, some have turned brown though?? They're 10-13 nodes each roughly. Biggest are over 2foot (so not massive), the runts are prob foot n half max.

Yeah pests and screw ups by me are an ongoing issue. Spider mites went to town, though that's under control at the minute, and some minor caterpillar damage to a couple plants.

get some boxes of laybirds n shit ordered n chucked in there an dunno what stuff other than birds eats caterpillars lol

 

[R1b3n4]

wait a sec found it lol

Insect predators of caterpillars include: assassin bugs; tachinid flies; paper wasps, which chew up caterpillars and feed them to their larvae; lacewings and ladybirds eat moth eggs; tiny trichogramma wasps parasitise moth eggs; other tiny wasps like Apanteles sp. parasitise the caterpillar, the wasp larvae feed on non-essential parts of the caterpillar. When the wasp larvae are ready to pupate their exit generally finishes off the host caterpillar.

 

[Roobarb]

You're a gardener obviously but if you want I'll give u a simple recipe that'll keep everything off your plants and you can make it yourself.

@R1b3n4
Yes Birds will eat caterpillars and everything else including any plants and shit everywhere
As for trichogamma wasps....haha wtf!

 

[Merlot]

@Roobarb - I'm always open to suggestions.

I might round up a few ladybirds n see what happens. I used predator mites when my snake had mites. They eat the other mites then die off. Might try them.
